I came away impressed with both Shaw and Waits. Kris Davis was solid, but didn't really stand out, performance wise, IMO. And Dave was fantastic. edit - for those that haven't been to the MIM, it's an amazing museum, easily Smithsonian caliber. They have the oldest guitar in existence (dating from 1590), and a Chinese drum that's more than 6,000 years old. Plus Eric Dolphy's sax, Thelonious Monk's piano, Buddy Rich's drum set, Gerry Mulligan's baritone sax, and Lionel Hampton's vibraharp. Too many other things to mention. All 4 were excellent here in Santa Fe. BTW, have been to MIM & it's fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted Wednesday at 05:50 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:50 AM When I saw him in Leuven in 2018 I thought that might be the only and last opportunity to see him perform live. But upcoming Saturday I will see him perform again in Utrecht: Abdullah Ibrahim, 89 years old. I assume he will play for a small hour, solo piano, his well known repertoire like he did in 2017. That was one of the most intimate concerts I’ve ever witnessed. Looking very much forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted Wednesday at 10:59 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:59 AM It's been a while, but I'm getting back to a show this Saturday night. James Carter is playing at Scullers in Boston. I used to catch Carter on every swing through Boston but it's been a long time since I saw him last. He usually puts on a great performance. I know his showmanship turns some of you off but I actually like the stuff he does quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the most intimate concerts I’ve ever witnessed. Looking very much forward to it! He came kind of near me (Richmond Hill, ONT) and I seriously considered it, but, not having a car, it is a huge drag to get there from where I am, and I was definitely worried about being stranded after the transit system stopped. I probably should have just figured it out (or maybe even Ubered it). I would have done so the following year(s), but I think the closest he has come lately is Albany. ☹️ Anyway, I just saw Pat LaBarbera with Neil Swainson and Terry Clarke at the Rex. It was a sold out show. Which is terrific! This is their annual John Coltrane birthday celebration. This time around they did Giant Steps, Blue Trane and part of A Love Supreme, in addition to other material that Trane played. Very good show. I also managed to get Neil's latest CD from him, and he signed it for me. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said to give you his greetings right back… and he said you said you still owe him $20. 😀😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Abdullah Ibrahim. 89 years old and still going strong. He played a beautiful set of well known repertoire and new compositions. It was again a very intimate experience. He finished his set with some singing and chanting. The whole crowd stood up from their seats, all completely silent you couldn’t hear anyone breathe. Goosebumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
